Examples

example1 - Use Request Data

We use the Request Data element to ask for information gathered from the user's HTTP request. We dump the output to the screen using the Debug element. Note that the information available can vary depending on the environment the edgeside code is running in. (In wrangler preview for example, be aware that cloudflare information will not be available.)
